Good & Gather Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Good & Gather Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers by Good & Gather ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Peanut butter and ground peanuts are genuinely in here, but the base is enriched refined flour and the sweetness comes from three stacked sources (sugar, dextrose and corn syrup) plus palm, soybean and canola oils. That is the classic engineered-snack formula, NOVA 4 ultra-processed. Convenient, but it is a sweetened cracker, not the protein snack the peanut framing implies.

Why this verdict

• Three separate sweeteners (sugar, dextrose and corn syrup) form a stacked sweetness system.
• Hyper-palatable triad: enriched flour + vegetable oils + sugar.
• Enriched refined flour is the base, with palm, soybean and canola oils supplying the fat.
• NOVA 4 ultra-processed; the real peanut content does not rescue a sweetened refined-flour cracker.
